How to Prevent Makeup Transfer to Clothing

By Nadria Tucker

Getting makeup on your clothes can be embarrassing and costly to clean. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to help prevent makeup transfer to clothes. Fighting moisture is the key to keeping makeup off your clothing. Moisture can cause makeup to slide or rub off your face. Thus, keeping your face dry is essential. Some simple tricks and tools can help you reduce the chance of makeup transferring to your clothing.

Keep your makeup fresh all day with primer and setting spray.

Step 1

Apply primer to your face before you apply your makeup. Makeup primer is designed to help makeup stay on your face by creating a smooth surface and soaking up oil.

Step 2

Wear waterproof makeup. Waterproof products are less likely to rub off on clothes because they fight moisture.
